Hong Kong News: Police Talker

After leaving Huang Bingyao's office, Hua Sheng walked towards the interrogation room.

Although Zeng Xiangrong has now spoken out, he has only given a statement and has not presented any substantial evidence. And statements are subject to recantation.

Upon entering the interrogation room, through the one-way mirror, I looked at Zeng Xiangrong, who was being interrogated. Zeng Xiangrong was saying aggrievedly, "Inspector Chen, I really don't have the evidence you mentioned. Besides, I've told you everything I know. I really don't know anything else!"

Chen Yongren stared directly at Zeng Xiangrong and said in a deep voice, "At this point, you still have illusions? Do you think that even if Li Yonglian is not convicted and is released from the police force, he will still work with you in the future?"

Zeng Xiangrong paused, then said with a wry smile, "Inspector Chen..."

Before he could finish speaking, Hua Sheng pushed open the door and walked in, going straight to the interrogation chair and looking down at Zeng Xiangrong, the former deputy director of management who had once held a high position but little power.

"Based on what you did tonight, you can't escape the fate of going to Stanley. But I can make you a promise: as long as you hand over the evidence you have and become a witness for the prosecution, and identify Lai Wing-lim in court, I can guarantee that you can leave the police station safely and live a normal life in your old age!"

As he spoke, Watson leaned down and whispered in his ear, "Think it over before you speak. I'm only giving you this one chance. I don't believe anyone else besides you doesn't have something in their hands, such as... Qu Haolin!"

Upon hearing this name, Zeng Xiangrong's pupils constricted. He had almost forgotten about this person. The main reason was that for the past few months, Qu Haolin had been taking sick leave due to poor health and staying in the hospital for recuperation.

Of course, this is just the surface. The truth is that he couldn't stay in the police force anymore. Everyone was ostracizing him. As an assistant commissioner, his words carried no weight. He was even dragged out of the Narcotics Bureau by several ordinary officers, which made him lose face in the police force.

In addition, he was parachuted into the police force from the Legislative Council, and had no foundation in the police force. He was also ostracized everywhere, and even Lai Wing-lim and Tsang Heung-wing looked down on him.

There was no other way but to hide in the hospital to avoid further humiliation and being bullied.

If Watson hadn't brought it up, Zeng Xiangrong would have almost forgotten about this person's existence.

Upon hearing this, he abruptly looked up at Watson, a conflicted expression appearing on his face.

Upon seeing this, Watson scoffed and turned to leave.

Just as they reached the door, they heard Zeng Xiangrong shouting from behind: "Wah Sir, don't go, I'll talk!"

Upon hearing these words, Watson's lips curled into a slight smile, but this smile vanished as he turned away, staring at the other person expressionlessly.

Zeng Xiangrong took a deep breath and slowly said, "I do have some evidence, which is what I use to save my life." He paused, staring intently at Hua Sheng: "You must keep your promise!"

Watson nodded: "Don't worry, I wouldn't lie to you in front of so many people. I'm the Deputy Commissioner of Operations, and the future top cop."

If no one else were present, it wouldn't matter if he lied to people, but if Watson broke his promise in front of so many people, how could he lead the police force in the future? Would his subordinates still trust him?

Zeng Xiangrong understood this as well, and immediately said, "I have some things stored in a safe deposit box in a Swiss bank. The evidence is in there, but to retrieve them, I need to be present in person, and I need a password and fingerprint."

Watson stared intently at his expression, thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Alright, I'll send someone with you right now."

"Now?" Zeng Xiangrong said in surprise, "It's the middle of the night!"

Watson glanced at him: "So what if it's late at night? Have you forgotten that this is Hong Kong Island? So what if it's a Swiss bank? This is a major issue involving the security of Hong Kong Island. Even the Governor would have to get up, let alone some bank staff."

"Ah Ren, take some men and invite all the staff of the Swiss bank back to work. Anyone who doesn't want to go, just forcibly take them there. I'll take responsibility for any problems. I'll send Ah Xing to take Zeng Xiangrong there."

“Okay, I’ll take some people to invite them right away.” Chen Yongren immediately agreed.

......

At three o'clock in the morning, Mark, a manager at a Swiss bank, was sleeping at home when suddenly his bedroom door was pushed open and several people carrying flashlights walked in.

This startled Mark awake. He was old and a light sleeper, and faced with this sudden turn of events, he immediately cried out in panic, "Who are you people?!"

Chen Yongren found the light switch in the room, turned it on, and said, "I am Chen Yongren, Chief Superintendent of the CID. I would like to ask Mr. Mark to come to the bank. There is some work that requires your cooperation."

Upon hearing this, Mark, who knew the identities of Chen Yongren and the others, became furious. He was no longer panicked. If the people who broke in were bandits, he felt he was doomed, but if they were police officers, he got excited.

"Fuck, do you know this is trespassing? I'm definitely going to sue you..."

Ignoring the other party's incessant chatter, Chen Yongren shouted directly, "Take him away!"

Several police officers immediately rushed over, pinned Mark down, and took him into custody.

This enraged Mark again: "What are you doing, Fuck? I'm going to sue you!"

Chen Yongren ignored him; he still had several places to visit, all high-ranking officials at Swiss banks, while the ordinary staff were to be invited by CID officers.

At 4:30 a.m., Chen Yongren arrived at the Swiss bank with senior management personnel, where Zhou Xingxing was already waiting at the door.

"Inspector Chen, how's it going? I've brought the men over." He gestured towards a Flying Tigers vehicle.

Chen Yongren nodded: "Things went smoothly on my end too, I've brought everyone over." After saying that, he turned around and shouted: "Bring everyone down."

Soon, police officers escorted people out of the car and quickly formed several rows. Angry expressions appeared on their faces, and one of them shouted, "You're finished! How dare you forcibly bring us here? We're going to file a complaint against you and sue you!"

Without wasting words, Chen Yongren walked straight up to the shouting foreigner and slapped him across the face.

"Snapped!"

With a powerful slap, Chen Yongren knocked the foreigner to the ground. Then, he stomped on the man's face, grinding his foot into it as he coldly said, "Are you getting too big for your britches?"
